honestly
Harem Scarem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand before you
Accused of many crimes
But I want to believe
That love can still survive

You don't have to say it,
I don't have to read your mind
To know the emptiness
That's finally arrived

How was I,
To know the right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken,
So where did I go wrong?

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Words will have more meaning,
If they're said at certain times
Now the all they've seen
I found to be a lie

How would you know it,
You won't give me sometime
To see if everything could work out,
And you'll be mine

Oh, will love be lost forever
But someday I will find
The world we've all been searching for
Or just some peace of mind..

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

All the night I sit and wonder
Must be more to laugh, I'm sure that
Days and years gone by while I am
Living with the..
Oh, lonely feeling

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Tell me honestly




If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Honestly" by Harem Scarem captures the vulnerability of the singer standing accused of numerous crimes with no defense but love, which he believes can still survive amidst the emptiness they are currently experiencing. The singer admits to not knowing the right from the wrong because hardly any words were spoken, and he questions if love will be lost forever but still holds onto the hope of finding the peace of mind they are both searching for. The song projects the essence of the singer's desire for honesty from his partner, wanting to know if they still love him as they did before, and if there is a possibility of working things out so that they can be together again.

@Hi.18forevers

I stand before
you accused of many crimes
But I want to believe
that love can still survive
君の前では
罪を告白しよう
でも信じたい
愛は生きていると

You don't have to say it,
I don't have to read your mind
To know that emptiness
has finally arrived
しゃべらなくていい
勘ぐらなくていい
わかってほしい
虚しくなったんだね

How was I to know right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken,
so where did I go wrong
間違いから正しさを
どうやって見つける?
ほとんど話さなくなった
どこで間違ったんだろう

Tell me honestly,
if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes
honestly
正直に話して
まだ愛してくれるなら
瞳を見てくれ
正直に

Words have more meaning,
if they're said at certain times
I need you now
So I can feel alive
言葉は時に意味を持つ
然るべき時に
君が必要なんだ
生を実感する

How would you know
if you won't give me some time
To see if everything could work out
you'll be mine
どうしたらわかってくれる?
猶予をくれたら
すべてがうまくいって
僕のものになるかもしれない

I'll be lost forever
or someday I may find
The words that I've been searching for
or just some peace of mind
永遠に迷子のまま?
それともいつか
求めていた言葉や
安らぎを見つけられる?

Tell me honestly,
if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes
honestly

正直に話して
まだ愛してくれるなら
瞳を見てくれ
正直に

Tell me honestly,
if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes
honestly
正直に話して
まだ愛してくれるなら
瞳を見てくれ
正直に

All the nights I sit and wonder
there must be more to life
I'm sure that days and years go by
while I am living with,
living with a lonely feeling
一晩中物思いにふけった
よりよい人生があると思い
日々が過ぎると確信してる
一緒に暮らしてる間
孤独を抱えて生きていくんだ

honestly,
if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes
honestly
正直に話して
まだ愛してくれるなら
瞳を見てくれ
正直に

oh Tell me honestly,
if you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes
honestly
正直に話して
まだ愛してくれるなら
瞳を見てくれ
正直に

I stand before
you accused of many crimes
But I want to believe
that love can still survive.
君の前では
罪を告白しよう
でも信じたい
愛は生きていると

HONESTAMENTE

Eu diante de você, acusado de vários crimes
Mas eu quero acreditar que o amor ainda pode sobreviver
Você não tem que dizer isso, eu não tenho que ler sua mente
Para saber que o fim finalmente chegou

Como eu poderia saber o certo diante do errado
As palavras foram mal faladas, de modo que eu estava errado?

Diga-me sinceramente, se você ainda me ama
Olhando em meus olhos, honestamente…

Palavras terão mais significado, se elas forem ditas nos momentos certos
Agora, todas as que eu já vi achei ser uma mentira
Como você sabe disso, você não vai me dar algum tempo
Para ver se tudo poderia acontecer, e você poderia ser minha

Ah, vai ser amor perdido para sempre, mas um dia vou encontrar
O mundo que todos estão procurando
Ou apenas alguma paz de espírito...

Diga-me sinceramente, se você ainda me ama
Olhando em meus olhos, honestamente...

Toda a noite eu sento e pergunto
Deve ser engraçado, estou certo de que
Dias e anos passaram, enquanto eu
Viverei com um ..
Oh, solitário sentimento



@killer72147

😢
Found this song again for the second time
Twice the hurt I felt
Twice the time she hurt me even though we have a child
Will she ever feel that I'm dying slowly dying inside
I fought for our love
I fought for our dreams
I fought till i cant feel anything
I fought till nothings left for me
But all I see is the end 💔
For how long will she do this to me
Should I even continue
Im losing my grip
But still I'm holding on 💔
